How are nonprofits impacted by PULSE?

“

PULSE allowed us to increase our capacity during a time of transition and financial insecurity.  Thanks to the work of our PULSE participant, I was able to focus on other things while our programs continued to flourish.  We are ending the year in a much better place than when we began.  This is in no small part the result of having partnered with PULSE.
